Start every freeplay game with gear, not empty pockets.
New players receive a light armor with a pre-filled 4x6 equipment grid and 50 construction robots — and construction robots are also cheap and hand-craftable from the start (oil-free flying robot frames), so losses are replaceable from minute one.
What's in the kit
The power source adapts to your mod setup:
- Vanilla: 10 solar panels, a battery, vanilla exoskeleton, 1 personal roboport, 50 construction robots
- BurnerGenerator (Optional Companion): burner generator pre-fueled with coal, vanilla exoskeleton, 2 personal roboports, 50 construction robots
- Pyanodons: 2x portable gasoline generators (patched to also burn coal/wood/biomass — no plastic needed), a prototype exoskeleton with vanilla stats, 2 personal roboports, and 50 py-construction-robot-mk01 (which also get a start-available recipe: iron sticks, gears and copper cable)
Vanilla light and heavy armor also gain a 4x6 equipment grid (Pyanodons ships its own grids, which are left untouched).

If removing the mod from a vanilla game, be sure to uninstall equipment from your light/heavy armor first! Inspired by FasterStart.
